Contraband Control Shows Restraint for Neutrals
SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH"
LONDON, Dec, 20 (Reuter).-"Reuter" learns from official sources that the Contraband Control has not yet physically unloaded any exports of German origin although a number of cargoes have been allowed to proceed only under the terms of the so-called "Black Diamond" guarantee under which the shipping company concern- ed gives
a guarantee that the goods carried will not be released at the port of des- tination until the Contraband Control authoritics are satisfied.
It in thought that no ftrent dolen-}| tion of such German exports will the reason being the even occur, natural desire of neutrals not to run the risk of German goods being seized by the Control, with the con- sequent preference for either obtain- ing German supplies via land routes or ordering them from other sources.
The Contraband Control pilaws certain Intitude, recent enses being that several cargoes of German ori- xin, aniline drugs, skipped for South Amerlea were allowed.
